He had always been drawn to quiet corners, but this felt different. A weight settled in his chest as he considered his father, and Sonya, sensing his unease, invited him to lunch, suggesting he bring Paige so they could get acquainted.

A silent plea for rescue was sent to Tyler, a desperate text message asking him to intervene.
